Hi,

I am trying to setup FreeRADIUS to use an LDAP server for authentication. My 
thoughts were that it would query the LDAP server for the user and then use a 
password entry in LDAP to authenticate just as if looking at the text string 
for the user password in /etc/passwd. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but 
basically it would look up the user in LDAP and use a string returned for a 
'Password' attribute and use that to authenticate. Having tried 
unsuccessfully to get this working, I looked at the code as best as I know 
how and it looks like the only method of authentication via LDAP is by trying 
to bind to the LDAP server with the username and password given to RADIUS. Is 
this a correct assessment?
